The TC 8-12/30 cable clip from Schneider Electric, Thorsman series, is a mounting component for installing round conduits indoors. It is designed for secure and durable fixation of cables with a diameter between 8 mm and 12 mm to substrates such as walls or ceilings. The product consists of a clip made of polypropylene (PP) and a nail made of electroplated hardened steel, ensuring high mechanical strength and resistance to environmental influences. The clip is white (NCS 0500), has a length of 30 mm and an installation depth of 19 mm. The nail has a diameter of 2 mm and enables stable anchoring in suitable substrates.
Applications
The TC 8-12/30 cable clip is specifically designed for fixing round conduits indoors. It is suitable for electrical installations in buildings where reliable and durable cable fixation is required. The clip is designed for cable diameters from 8 to 12 mm, covering a wide range of conductor cross-sections. Its use indoors is supported by its specific design for atmospheric conditions of category C2, which assumes low corrosion exposure.
Functions and Features in Detail
The polypropylene (PP) clip is flexibly designed and holds securely on the cable, enabling easy and quick installation. The clip is impact-resistant and UV-resistant, ensuring long service life even under mechanical stress and sunlight exposure. The nail made of electroplated hardened steel offers high strength and prevents breakage under load; instead, the pins bend, enabling secure fixation even under dynamic loads. The clip is available in white, making it suitable for applications in visible areas.
Technology Explained Simply
The combination of polypropylene clip and hardened steel nail ensures an optimal balance between flexibility and strength. The clip adapts to the cable diameter and holds it securely, while the nail provides stable anchoring in the substrate. The materials are resistant to temperature fluctuations from -40 °C to +80 °C, enabling use in a variety of indoor environments. UV resistance protects the clip from aging due to sunlight exposure, which is particularly important in rooms with direct lighting.
Compatibility and Accessories
The TC 8-12/30 cable clip is designed for round conduits with a diameter of 8 to 12 mm. It is supplied with a nail made of electroplated hardened steel, intended for fixation in suitable substrates. The clip is part of the Thorsman series and can be combined with other products in this series to ensure a consistent mounting system. The availability of pins in various strengths and materials (such as galvanized steel or stainless steel) is part of the series range, but not included in this specific item.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply placing the clip onto the cable and then inserting the nail into the substrate. The clip holds securely on the cable, allowing precise positioning. The installation depth of 19 mm and nail length of 30 mm ensure secure anchoring in common substrates such as plasterboard or wood. Installation requires no additional tools, except a suitable striking tool for fixing the nail.
Operational Advantages
The TC 8-12/30 cable clip provides reliable and durable fixation of round conduits indoors. The materials ensure high resistance to mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and UV exposure. The self-holding design of the clip simplifies installation and reduces mounting time. The clip is available in a pack of 100 pieces, making it economically attractive for larger installations. The warranty is 18 months, highlighting the product's reliability.
